Haniel Foundation

Finding new ways of working

The Haniel Foundation supports people who want to help shape the future on a sustainable basis. It is committed to value-oriented entrepreneurship and supports educationally disadvantaged children and young people as well as high-achieving future managers. As an education foundation, it addresses current and pressing issues in education by enabling people to solve these challenges in an entrepreneurial way in the interests of public welfare.

The guiding principle of value-oriented management, following the tradition and conviction of the Haniel entrepreneurial family, focuses on creating educational opportunities, fostering integration and encouraging the managers of tomorrow. The target groups include educationally disadvantaged children, young people and high-achieving young professionals, who assume responsibility for society along the lines of the honourable businessman principle.
